## Description

RabbitMQ is a messaging and streaming broker. Prior to versions 3.13.15,
4.0.20, 4.1.11, 4.2.6, and 4.3.1, get\_chunk\_selector/1 calls binary\_to\_atom
on the raw client-supplied <<"chunk\_selector">> property from post-auth
subscribe and resolve\_offset\_spec frames, with no whitelist and no existing
guard. An authenticated stream client with read access to any stream can
crash the broker node. Preconditions include rabbitmq\_stream plugin enabled
Authenticated stream-protocol user with read access to at least one stream.
This issue is fixed in versions 3.13.15, 4.0.20, 4.1.11, 4.2.6, and 4.3.1.
